(she agrees)

Megan Amram tweeted out an “abridged” list of her restaurant puns for this episode and it is so glorious that I might have to form a religion from it with this as the founding document.

Aw, no love for Ponzu Scheme?

I hope this turns out to be the actual solution.

They’ve got to start trading notes with Bob’s Burgers.

Yes, that’s been obvious for the last ten months or so.

I love that he was basically using Jason like a programmer would explain a problem to a rubber duck.

You mean... Vicky should get a bigger part?

By now it should be obvious....they know you shippers exist, they know what you want, and they are never, ever going to give it to you, electing instead to insert one tease in each episode that almost goes there but not quite.

Is Jason somehow going to be right the magic panda being the key?

Thank you for asking. It would.

Would murdering some unsuspecting Holodeck users make you feel better?

Punny food options seen in this episode, ranked:

I would eat at Biscottie Pippen. I’d feel bad for them having to compete with Michael Jordanish.

I really enjoyed Michael explaining to Jason that they are in the bad place like it didn’t really matter - then it turning out to be not because he was going to do a reset, rather because he knew Jason totally wouldn’t get it.

“Catch the magic panda and use her powers.”

I think we’ll get it back - the implication of this episode is that the four keep getting to the same place emotionally, over and over.

Same. I find the Eleanor/Tahani relationship more interesting than Eleanor/Chidi in many ways. Better jokes too.

The golden rule in The Good Place writers’ room seems to be “Never put off until next episode, that which you can do this episode.”

I think it was one of the comments on this site that predicted that Michael would team up with the four at the end of this season. Who knew Mike Schur and the gang blew this show up so early in the season. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
